Aer Lingus Regional is to commence flights to Newcastle and East Midlands from Belfast City Airport following the collapse of Flybe.
East Midlands and Newcastle were the airline’s only destinations not served by other carriers from Belfast City Airport and Aer Lingus Regional has said the commencement of these routes will ensure that all those left vacant will now be re-established.
Regional carrier Flybe, which operated scheduled services from Belfast City, Birmingham and Heathrow to airports across the UK and to Amsterdam and Geneva, ceased trading in the early hours of Saturday.
